This year's Oscar after-party has been re-planned.

Gucci Party officially changed its name to Melisandre Party, and even applied for a special trademark, and confirmed that "Vanity Fair" magazine and Igritte Portal were the official media partners. At the same time, the party location was also changed to the top floor of the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. Sunset Tower Bar with spacious interior and spacious terrace.

In addition, party invitations are no longer as easy to obtain as before. The Melisandre company’s team responsible for this after-party started looking for an invitation list a month in advance. The number of guests will be limited to about 200 people, which is much lower than The scale of thousands of spectators at the Oscars ceremony.

It can be said that getting an invitation to Melisandre's Oscar after-party is even more difficult than attending the Oscars.

At nine o'clock at night, the Oscars ceremony officially ended at the Dorothy Chandler Theater in the city center, and superstars and celebrities with Melisandre party invitations rushed to West Hollywood. There's no shortage of places for those who don't get invitations, and there are parties all over Los Angeles this night, and it's just that other parties struggle to get much media attention from Melisandre's party.

Erin Lauder left the Dorothy Chandler Theater with the Wonder Woman crew and headed straight to the Melisandre party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Simon had already arranged everything for her in advance, and it did not make her feel out of place in this unfamiliar circle of Hollywood when she came to Los Angeles from New York alone. Sen and Sandra Bullock, the top PR managers for star services, discussed with her whether to schedule some press releases.

Although she rejected the other party's suggestion, she couldn't help but have some good feelings for a certain guy again.

When she came to the Sunset Tower Hotel, because she did not want to appear in front of the media, she directly bypassed the reporter's photo area and entered the hotel building through other entrances.

The party was very thoughtful in details, and a temporary dressing room was specially prepared for the guests.

Going to the Oscars requires a formal dress, but Melisandre's party is very casual, with no dress requirements, and it's certainly not convenient for guests to walk around in long floor-to-ceiling gowns. The dresses worn by many celebrities are rented, costing tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. If they get dirty and torn at a party, they will inevitably feel distressed.

Erin Lauder also prepared two outfits. The one she used for the party was a light blue knee-length dress. The style was avant-garde, and she was more business-oriented. When choosing clothes, she thought a guy would like it.

After changing clothes, the original dress was handed over to the accompanying assistant he arranged for him. Erin Lauder finally entered the party scene. The atmosphere here was very relaxed, and many familiar Hollywood stars gathered in groups to chat. , In addition, there are many celebrities in the political and business circles that she happens to know.

Looking left and right, by the way, I was waiting for Famke Jansen, the Wonder Woman actor who had a good conversation just now, to come up, and a woman who was wearing a simple black dress, but had a very beautiful figure, with a mature and intellectual atmosphere, walked out. He came over and took the initiative to reach out to her: "Hello, Miss Lauder, I'm Sophia Fisher."

Erin Lauder just joined the family business after graduating from college last year. However, she also heard elders talk about a lot of information in the industry on weekdays.

When I heard the self-introduction of the woman in front of me, I immediately thought of the identity of the other party.

Sophia Fisher, chairman and CEO of The Melisandre Company.

This is a very powerful woman who has built the Melisandre Company into a comprehensive luxury goods group in just a few years. Moreover, the other party has a very obvious relationship with Simon Westeros.

"Hello, Ms. Fisher, nice to meet you."

Thinking of this, Erin Lauder politely shook hands with Sophia while subconsciously looking at each other.

The first feeling was that this woman had really good skin, and the slightly conservative round-neck black dress revealed smooth, delicate and fair skin, which seemed to be flawless.

It even makes me want to pinch.

Um.

I don't know if he ever pinched it.

Sophia let the girl look at herself, and also glanced at the light blue dress on her body, and smiled: "Is this the latest model that montana just released a while ago?"

Irene Lauder was a little surprised, nodded and said, "Yes, Ms. Fisher, do you know this long dress?"

Sophia said: "It's a typical montana design style, bold and avant-garde, and it's a little more intellectual when you wear it, which fits very well."

"Oh, thank you," Irene Lauder was a little embarrassed, and wanted to compliment the other party's clothes, but she didn't have the eyesight of Sophia, hesitated, and turned the topic to a certain guy in a ghostly way: "Simon... ...will Mr. Westeros come over tonight?"

Sophia smiled a little more at the corner of her mouth and said, "Of course, but it will take a while."

Just as he was talking, another female voice who seemed to be a little careless sounded: "Hi, Sophia."

The two turned around together, and Sophia opened her arms to the girl who approached: "Good evening, Sandy, you are so beautiful tonight."

It was Sandra Bullock.

"Thanks, you too."

"Oh, let me introduce you, this is Miss Erin Lauder."

Sandra stepped forward and hugged Erin Lauder gently again, and asked subconsciously, "Estee Lauder?"

Erin Lauder nodded and said, "Estee

Lauder is my grandmother. "

"That's a very legendary woman."

"Thanks, my grandmother has seen your 'Lola Run,' she likes it."

"Oh, ah, you mean..."

"My grandmother is 85 years old, but she has always been in good health."

"very nice."

After a few simple chats, Sandra turned to Sophia and asked, "Why didn't I see Simon?"

Sophia smiled and said, "He's the boss. Of course, he can appear whenever he wants."

"It's getting harder and harder to see him now."

"You know how busy he is."

"Yeah, I'm busy making so much money, and I don't give it to me."

"You can ask him."

"Forget it, if he dumps me a billion, I don't know how to spend it."

"Hehe, I can help you."

"You'd better help him spend it directly," Sandra made a somewhat ambiguous joke and saw a figure not far away, and said, "Keanu is here, I'll go say hello, this guy has not been seen for a long time. "

After Sandra left, Sophia glanced at the entrance and said to Erin Lauder beside her, "The crew of "Scent of a Woman" is here, let's get acquainted together?"

Erin Lauder hadn't seen Famke Jensen yet, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

As the big winner of this Oscar, the crew of "Scent of a Scent and Knowing a Girl" caused a small commotion at the party scene as soon as they appeared.

The two women came forward together, just to say hello, and they had to give the opportunity to communicate with others.

Just after leaving the "Scent and Knowing a Woman" crew, several tall and beautiful girls came together. It was the five spokespersons of Victoria's Secret, Cindy Crawford, Yasmin Gary, and Tara. Banksy, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour.

Erin Lauder listened to Sophia greet the girls enthusiastically, and then found that, before they chatted a few words, Stephanie Seymour asked when a certain guy would appear.

Like, the third time?

In the greetings that followed, it was almost unsurprising that the fourth, fifth, sixth...

Near ten o'clock, when a certain guy finally appeared, Erin Lauder felt that it was best to stay away from him.

There are too many women who miss this bastard, and she doesn't want to be one of his many lovers.

Although he thought so, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he praised her for her beautiful dress tonight, and when he walked away with Sophia Fisher, it was inevitably a little tasteful.

After socializing in the crowd for more than half an hour, congratulating tonight's winners, and greeting some important guests, Simon finally got free and walked to the terrace outside the bar with Sophia.

The two sat down on a sofa in the corner of the terrace, and Sophia finally asked with some ridicule, "How did you hook up with the little girl from Lauder's family?"

Simon said casually: "I just met at the New York party a few days ago."

Sophia just teased it a little, she didn't want to pursue it, and she had already done what she should have done. Seeing that so many beautiful girls are paying attention to Simon, that girl should also give up.

In some ways, Sophia and the female assistant are actually very similar.

As his lover, knowing that she has no chance to fight, doesn't mean that she will be happy to see other women by his side.

So let's talk about something serious.

"It's probably already done at Christie's. 309 pence per share, £562 million, or $878 million. If you're fine, I'll go back to Europe tomorrow and the news will be officially announced."

Simon nodded: "I read your memo this morning."

Compared with the closing price on Friday, the transaction price of 309 pence per share is equivalent to a premium of 23%, and the premium is exactly 30% compared with the share price when the negotiations just started in mid-February.

During the more than one month negotiation process, the two sides saw several times, and Christie's stock price on the London Stock Exchange continued to fluctuate.

In early March, because Christie's refused to make too many concessions, Sophia decisively stopped the negotiations and made a gesture of abandoning the acquisition completely. In the following two weeks, Christie's stock price, which had been rising continuously, began to fall.

Until last Friday, Christie's took the initiative to contact, Sophia also gave a plan that had already been drawn up, and said that this was the last offer from Melisandre.

If Christie's does not accept it, the transaction is completely terminated.

Although some shareholders were not reconciled, after a vote by the board of directors, Melisandre's acquisition plan was finally passed.

Obviously, most shareholders also understand that even if Simon Westeros is optimistic about Christie's, this auction house cannot sell too high a price because of the size of the industry.

Continuing to chat about some details, Sophia asked again: "Also, what happened to Joseph Lewis?"

Simon said: "You should have seen the other party's information. I am very interested in the Tavistock group under the name of Joseph Lewis, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Joseph Lewis wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with Simon. After investigating the details of the other party, Simon also found that Joseph Lewis might be a springboard for his investment in Latin America.

In this acquisition, the original plan, Melisandre only planned to use its own funds to acquire about 51% of Christie's shares,

To achieve absolute control, the remaining shares are jointly held by Apollo Management Company under Cersei Capital and some other capitals.

After Simon agreed to Joseph Lewis' equity participation at a party in New York, Sophia had to change the financing strategy that had been formulated and gave 20% of the shares to Joseph Lewis.

Moreover, such as an Italian investment fund controlled by the Agnelli family behind the Fiat Group, which plans to acquire about 15% of the shares, and the 10% investment share of Italian media tycoon Berlusconi, these are not just pure holdings So simple, in fact, it symbolizes a cooperation between the Westeros system and Italian local capital, which cannot be rejected at all, nor can it be rejected.

After urgent consultations with Joseph Lewis, Melisandre's own share could only be reduced in the end.

Fortunately, Joseph Lewis spared no effort to establish a cooperative relationship with the Westeros system, and offered to permanently grant the voting rights of 20% of the shares to Melisandre. Unless the stock is sold in the future, Joseph Lewis will It has only held shares and has no voting rights.

Calculated, although Melisandre's shareholding in Christie's has been reduced to 31%, 20% of Joseph Lewis is counted, 11% of Cersei Capital's $100 million investment, and Christie's owned by the Westeros system. Voting rights will reach 62%.

A 31% stake, an absolute controlling stake, is an investment status Simon is very happy to see.

Even if the capital accumulation of the Westeros system is rapid, after all, there is a certain limit. Using other people's money to increase the influence of its own capital is actually one of Simon's important purposes for developing Cersei's capital.

For example, Black Rock Asset Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, if it can reach the peak of controlling $6 trillion in global assets, it will be a huge capital that can subvert a country. Capital itself cannot exert influence. To achieve this, it must be carried out by individuals after all. Cersei Capital controls the funds to buy a company's stock. After reaching a certain percentage, the Westeros system can send its own Representatives are stationed on the board of directors of this company, thus forming influence on a company.

The more powerful corporate giants are, the more inclined they are to public-owned companies. In such companies, the board of directors is basically the actual controller.

If the Westeros system has its own seats on the boards of corporate giants such as General Electric, Boeing, Exxon Mobil, ibm, etc., to a certain extent, Simon is equivalent to controlling the US economy, expanding outward, and the global range, the same is true.

Crucially, the Westeros system doesn't need to have so much money on its own.
